55 catedin the drawing, I preferablyemploy NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE,

. To all whom itmayooncern Be it known that I, Grusnrrn Pmsu'r a citizen of the United. States, residing at the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a spoolfication. v

My present invention relates toa non-refillable bottle, and the object thereof sthe provision of a bottle stopper jof su fliclently low cost of production to be practlcal, and which is readily placed infposition in the neckof thebottle, and by the use. of which the'bottle is made substantially nonerefillable;

In carrying out my invention, I employ a stopper, adapted to fit within the. neck of "the bottle, the stopper being'provided with a transverse recess and a port communicating from the inner end of the stopper and the transverse? recess, and also with longitudinal surface recesses providing for f communication between the other or outer end of the stopper, and a recess formed by a rib 7 in the neck of the bottle, a valve controller fitting and longitudinally movable within the said transverse recess of the; stopper, means for. normally maintaining the valve controller in position, a valve intermediate of the said-valve controller and the seat,

I which is movable independently of thevalve controller in attempts torefill the bottle,

and means forsecuring the stopper within the neck of a. bottle, all of .whichwill be 1 hereinafter .more particularly described.

In the drawing, Figure" 1 is a central longitudinal cross section of the neck of the bottle fitted with. my improved stopper.

" right angles thereto. Fig. 3 is a transverse Fig. 2 is a view similar to F 1' taken at cross section on line at a: Fig.1. Fig. 4: is a transverse cross section on line y y Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a transverse cross section on lines 2 2 Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 isa side elevation of my improved stopper. I,

. Referring to the draw ng, o'indicates the neck of a bottle, which in any suitable position is providedwith a circumferential rib 11, providing for the interior recess 12.- I Fitted within the neck of the bottle, ;I employ a stopper indicated at 13. This stopper is preferably a one-piece structure, and spaced posltions 1n its surface I PIOVldG recesses to recelve cork rings 14, As 1nd1- 7 two of these cork rings, and

as will be understood, is

surrounding the cork ringsfand the body of the stopper, -I also employ a cylinder :of celluloid, indicated at 15. iThe' outersurface of the celluloid cylinder forms a contact with the inner surface of the neck of the bottle, and the cork Patented Ma 11,1915.

rings form a more'or less yielding support to the celluloid cylinder. p I In the body of the stopper is a transverse of which port, as will be understood, com

mun1cation is provided from the interior of the .bottle to the recess 16. A wall form-' ing the inner surface of the recess 16 con- 1 valve controller iis substantially the diame-.

of the valve controller, ne y trally, there are ribs'20, provided oneither vside thereof with recesses 21. g I 7 Between the upper end of the valve con-' troller, l9 and the adjacent wall, or that;

formingthetopor roof of the recess 16,1 employ a spring 22, the function of which,

valve in its normal position.

. Between the valve controller rubber or. other flexible material. .As

, stitutesga valve. seat 18.- Within the transverse recess 16, I employ the valve controller indicated at 19., Theextreme length of this v I, I V to ma'intainthe I o '19. and a: valve seat 18, I employ a valve2-3, which is preferably an imperforate -gasket, of. thin plainly shown in Fig. 5, thelength of this 7 valve Lispractically the same as the length. 7 of the valve controller 19, which is that of the diameter of the stopper. At itsfends, the'valve 23 is recessed or cut away,'.as indi cated at 24. These recessed.portionsofthe v valve are of considerably less extent; than the same portions of the valve controller 19, sothatparts of the valve, with which no contactfis made by the valve controller 19,

extend over the valve seat.

In the surfaceof the stopper, I employ recesses 25 26. Therecess 25 is preferably \l-shapejin cross section, and provides com; munication betweenthe mouth .of the bottle neck and-the recess 12 for the flow of the I 1 liquid in emptying thebottle, and the recess 26 makes a like communicationfor the purpose of admittingairinto the bottle as its liquid contents are discharged. U

As will be understood, when. the bottle is recess 16, and from the inner end of the v stopper there is a conically shaped port lead ingjinto. the transverse recess 16,;1by means inverted, to empty the valve controller 19, to pressure of the liquid conten' s the valve'controller' 19 to ;1nove, co n s a. -non-refillable bottle; a
